🌬️ Breathe Easy? Not Anymore...

A new report shows Maine’s air quality is declining, with more days of unhealthy air than ever before — putting vulnerable groups like children, older adults, and people with asthma at greater risk. 🧓👶😷

At Family Practice on the River, we’re committed to helping you stay healthy in every environment. If you or a loved one experiences shortness of breath, chronic cough, or worsening allergies, it could be more than just seasonal.

👉 Let’s talk about your respiratory health — schedule a check-up and get ahead of the air.

🩺 Your health. Your air. Your life.
📞 Call us today or visit our website to book an appointment.

There are 25 million more people living with bad air than last year's report showed, according to air quality data from the American Lung Association.
